And reality hits.

Tonight, Jeff and I held our boys on the hotel couch while they cried their eyes out. They miss their friends. They miss Uncle Curtis and Auntie Bernice. This trip is no longer a fun adventure.

And let me just tell you that there's not a whole lot more heartbreaking than big, huge tears streaming down my children's cheeks.

The good news is that we close on the new digs tomorrow. We are praying for sweet new friends for our kids. And, hopefully, the adventure of a new house will keep their little minds occupied for a bit.

We also have the fun of guests to look forward to. The first ones are set to arrive next weekend. So, when are YOU coming for a visit?

Your awesome kids will have no problem making new friends fast & furious. It's impossible not to love the Lonards.

Not sure when we'll get out your way, but you know I'm working on it.

Miss you.

Thinking of you, Erin. I know how hard moving can be... especially on the kids. I pray your family quickly settles in and your neighbors realize how lucky they are.
